Welcome to The Pathway... the podcast that explores the transformative power of youth sports.

In this episode, we are  talking about 'Meeting the Mentors' - those crucial influencers that determine the journey our kids will have in their sports.

We also address those questions really being asked by parents, discussed and debated on the sidelines and school gates. Are they the right coach for my child? Should I coach my child?? And is the 'old school' or 'new school' approach the best? 

In each episode, we are stepping through the Hero's Journey of young athletes, uncovering the lessons, challenges, and triumphs that shape who they are - and who they're becoming.

 This podcast is brought to you by Sport Experience Design.

Our mission is simple: helping get more people involved in sport, more often, and for longer.

The series was inspired by an upcoming book by Andrew O'Loughlin, who got curious about the best ways to navigate through the tests, trials and triumphs of his own kids sport, and what would be the best tips for us as providers at clubs, or as a guide for parents, and, most importantly, for the kids.
